Average speed
The average speed is calculated for the driv-

zero.

The information for current fuel consumption

is updated continuously - approximately once

per second. When the car is driven at low

speed the consumption is shown per time

unit - at a higher speed it is shown related to

mileage.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for

(p. 119).

Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate

distance that can be driven with the fuel

quantity remaining in the tank.

No guaranteed range remains when the head-

In which case, refuel as soon as possible.

The calculation is based on the average fuel

consumption over the last 30 km and the

remaining driveable fuel quantity.

Distance to empty battery

display shows the approximate distance that

The calculation is based on the average con-

normal driving and taking into account

whether the air conditioning (AC) is switched

on or off.

There may be a slight deviation if the driv-

An economic driving style generally results in

a longer driving distance. For more informa-

mental Philosophy (p. 21).

Mileage for electric operation
In order to achieve the longest possible mile-

age for electric operation, the driver of an

electric car also has to think about energy

conservation. The more consumers there are

(stereo, electric heating in windows/mirrors/

seats, very cold air from the climate control

system, etc.) that are active - the shorter the

potential mileage.

In addition to high current take-off in the

passenger compartment, sudden acceler-

ation and braking, high speed, heavy

loads, low outside temperature and uphill

gradients also reduce the possible driving

distance.

Digital speed display
The speed is shown in the opposite unit

(kmh/mph) in relation to the main instrument.

If it is calibrated in mph then the trip com-

puter shows the corresponding speed in

km/h and vice versa.

You can change unit (km/miles) for distance

and speed in the menu system MY CAR, see

MY CAR (p. 113).

Trip computer - trip statistics*

Information is stored about completed trips

containing average fuel consumption and

average speed, which can be viewed in the

centre console's screen as a bar chart.

Function

Trip statistics

Fuel and electricity consumption are shown in

separate graphs. Electricity consumption is

"net" consumption, i.e. energy consumed

minus regenerated energy created during

braking.
Each bar symbolises 1 km or 10 km driven

distance, depending on the scale selected -

the bar at the far right shows the value for the

current kilometre or 10 km.
Using the TUNE control, the scale for the

bars can be changed between 1 km and

10 km - the cursor on the far right changes

position between up and down in relation to

the scale selected.

Operation
Different settings can be made in the menu

system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 113) -

04 Climate control

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

General information on climate

control

The car is equipped with electronic climate

control (p. 128). The climate control system

cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air

in the passenger compartment.

When the climate control system is activated

it is recommended that the panel's air vents

are fully open in order to obtain the most effi-

cient air conditioning possible.
If there is no heat from the coolant then the

electrically-driven heater is used primarily. In

colder weather the car's fuel-driven heater

can also be started.
The engine block heater, fuel-driven heater

and electrically-driven heater are used as

heat sources during driving. The heat

source(s) used depends on the prevailing

conditions, e.g. ambient temperature.
During driving the car automatically starts the

systems needed to maintain comfort inside

the passenger compartment - except in drive

mode (p. 263) PURE, when climate comfort

is deprioritised, e.g. AC and certain electri-

cally-driven sources are switched off.
The climate in the car's passenger compart-

ment can be preconditioned (p. 136) (accli-

matised) before departure, in both hot and

cold climates.

Air conditioning (AC) (p. 131) can be

switched off, but to ensure the best possi-

ble climate comfort in the passenger com-

partment, and to prevent the windows

from misting, it should always be switched

on.

To bear in mind

•

To ensure that the air conditioning works

optimally, the side windows, and sunroof*

should be closed.

•

Global opening (p. 177) opens/closes all

side windows simultaneously and can be

used for example to quickly air the car

during hot weather.

•

Remove ice and snow from the climate

control system air intake (the grille

between the bonnet and the windscreen).

•

When running at idling speed, precondi-

tioning or charging the hybrid battery

(p. 300) in hot weather, condensation

from the air conditioning may drip under

the car. This is normal.

•

When the engine requires full power, e.g.

for full acceleration, the air conditioning

can be temporarily switched off. There

may then be a temporary increase in tem-

perature in the passenger compartment.

•

Remove misting on the insides of the win-

dows primarily by using the defroster

function (p. 132). To reduce the risk of

misting, keep the windows clean and use

window cleaner.

Air quality - passenger compartment

filter

All air entering the car's passenger compart-

ment is cleaned with a filter.

The filter must be replaced at regular inter-

vals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for

the recommended replacement intervals. If

the car is used in a severely contaminated

environment, it may be necessary to replace

the filter more often.

There are different types of passenger

compartment filter. Make sure that the cor-

rect filter is fitted.

The air quality system IAQS (p. 125) is a

Air quality - Clean Zone Interior

Package (CZIP)*

CZIP comprises a series of modifications that

keep the passenger compartment even

clearer from allergy and asthma-inducing sub-

stances.

The following is included:

•

An enhanced fan function that means that

the fan starts when the car is opened with

the remote control key. The fan fills the

passenger compartment with fresh air.

The function starts when required and is

disengaged automatically after a time or

when one of the passenger compartment

doors is opened. The amount of time the

fan runs is reduced gradually due to

reduced need up until the car is 4 years

old.

•

fully automatic system that cleans the air

in the passenger compartment from con-

taminants such as particles, hydrocar-

bons, nitrous oxides and ground-level

ozone.

To keep the CZIP standard in cars with

CZIP the IAQS filter must be changed after

15 000 km or once per year depending on

whichever occurs first. However, up to

75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without

CZIP and where the customer does not

want to keep the CZIP standard the IAQS

filter must be changed at a regular service.

For more information on CZIP, see the bro-

chure included with the purchase of the car.

Air quality - IAQS*

The air quality system IAQS separates gases

and particles to reduce the levels of odours

and pollution in the passenger compartment.

If the outside air is contaminated then the air

intake is closed and the air is recirculated.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-

tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a

(p. 113).

The air quality sensor must always be ena-

bled to ensure the best air in the passen-

ger compartment.
In a cold climate recirculation is limited so

as to prevent misting.
In the event of misting, the air quality sen-

sor should be disengaged, and the

defroster functions for the windscreen and

side windows, as well as the rear window,

should be used.
